I just want to load my MP3. BUT no can do ! (no search results)
 

:sos:
ok, here's the low down: LW 4.10.5, Java 1.6.0_05, Windows XP SP3, Cable conx, Windows firewall, 1 GB RAM, Pentium 4 CPU 1.06 GHz, ? hard disc space avail., Firefox, Modem softV90 Voice speaker phone, in home conx, "test worked", not sharing, Ist time user, YES, I am appretnly behind a firewall, no idea about modem port sharing, in US and no major changes to system recently.

Now, I did a search for a type of music (fold rock) and it loaded up to a certain point (99%) but not completely. Altho the LW logo thingie is not turning anymore (indicating stopped loading?). But It says 0 everywhere, no songs, no atrists no nothing.

How do I successfully get it ready to load songs into my MP3?
How do I load songs into the MP3?

UGH.

I'm a bit confused by your post.
Loading normally means LW starting up, after you've opened the program. If you were able to search then LW would have to be completely loaded (opened). The spinning lime shows that LW is searching for files - once the lime stops spinning then LW isn't searching anymore. So I guess that LW is actually loading (opening) properly but you're not seeing search results?

Do you see results if you search for other, more common files (eg popular songs)?

If you see results for other searches, varying your search terms - use the All Types search to look for artist or album, rather than song title.

If you're not seeing results for any searches at all, check out the tips here (click on the link): http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...tml#post322626

As for how to load songs onto your mp3 player - I wouldn't know. You haven't even told us what brand & model of player you have. Check the manual that came with your player, or use Google to find info.

You might wish to add LW as an exception to your firewall; Setting up an exception for LimeWire in your software firewall (click in link) giving it both TCP & UDP clearance since LW uses both for various reasons. I guess there's also the question of whether you are really 'fully' connected with all green bars at bottom left of screen.
I'd suggest you would also do better using LW 4.16 compared to LW 4.10; http://www.gnutellaforums.com/340213-post427.html
